Less Than a Year After CDC Announced the U.S. HIV Epidemic Is Much Larger Than
Previously Thought, Public's Sense of Urgency Is Down

Less than a year after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
recalculated the size of the HIV/AIDS epidemic and announced that there were
40 percent more new HIV infections each year than previously believed, a new
survey by the Kaiser Family Foundation finds that Americans' sense of urgency
about HIV/AIDS as a national health problem has fallen dramatically and their
concern about HIV as a personal risk has also declined, even among some groups
at higher risk.

Swine Flu Outbreaks Cause Concern among U.S. Physicians
Over half of physicians say there is a risk for a catastrophic pandemic

A new national study among 1,039 physicians revealed that a majority of

will result in a worldwide catastrophic pandemic. The study was conducted by
HCD Research and the Muhlenberg College Institute of Public Opinion (MCIPO) on
April 27, to obtain physicians' perceptions of the recent news that The U.S.
Center for Disease Control and Prevention has declared a public health
emergency in regard to Swine Influenza (Swine Flu). To view detailed results

Autism Genes Discovered; Help Shape Connections Among Brain Cells
Findings Suggest Biological Reasons for Altered Early Neural Development

A research team has connected more of the intricate pieces of the autism
puzzle, with two studies that identify genes with important contributions to
the disorder. One study pinpoints a gene region that may account for as many
as 15 percent of autism cases, while another study identifies missing or
duplicated stretches of DNA along two crucial gene pathways. Significantly,
both studies detected genes implicated in the development of brain circuitry
in early childhood.
